He had a nice game yesterday, gotta have more of that play or he can officially be labeled as a rotational DT with nice upside. Not the guy you pay 15M or a top 10 pick for. Thought it was a bad pick at the time and I stand by that. I think this regime has just a little too much pride to not pick up his option, but unless he completely breaks out, they should not.
He joins the growing list of guys they have over drafted and given too much opportunity to. Thus far, only Allen has been the only early round pick worthy of the position picked. Edmunds, Ford, Oliver, Eppenessa, and Basham are all looking bad in terms of their production vs the picks to get them. It’s early on Boogie and Epp, I’ll say Groot looks like a real good pick, but this had better be his floor, not ceiling. If he keeps growing, that’s going down as a great pick. If we really get down to it, the first 3 rounds have not been great under Beane, Brown may also be a nice pick, but time will ultimately tell on that.
